Designed for self-instruction or classroom use, this quick and easy textbook is ideally suited for one or two credit medical terminology courses. The text is brief yet sufficiently comprehensive to give users a sound understanding of terminology. Part One covers the basics of word analysis, word parts, and word building; Part Two focuses on the major body systems. Each chapter includes word tables, review exercises, and illustrations. A bonus CD-ROM includes a pronunciation glossary with approximately 1,500 terms, plus interactive exercises and a final exam. "LiveAdvise: Medical Terminology" online faculty support and student tutoring services are available free with each text. An online course for use with WebCT or Blackboard is also available.

Review:
, T.W. -- The chapters are easy to read and understand. Medical terminology is broken down and easily applied to the units covered for practical nursing students. , Roberta L. Pohlman, PhD -- There are so many wonderful activities presented to the student, that he/she should have no problem scoring well on a quiz, if all the activities are completed. These types of activites are also a good way for a student to know his/her weaknesses in the chapter. The crossword puzzles are usually fun for everyone, but I really liked the activity on pronunciation. What a novel idea to help students learn the terms., , Roberta L. Pohlman, PhD -- The new text is colorful and "chock-full" of learning activities for the student. I will continue using this text as it is one of the best books available for a 10-15 week course.,
